    Think its about a month ago it started, just wondering has anyone being using it?

    Traffic Text provides you with instant, real time information about national inter-city and M50 journey times to help plan your journey.
    How do I use it?

    It's always best to text before you set off, but if you're en route, either pull over when it's safe, or ask a passenger to send a text.

    Send a text to 53526/53JAM with any of the keywords in the table below
    Keyword Details of journey time
    M50 M50 end to end (M1 to M11, both directions of travel)
    M50N M50 north total journey + time to/from Red Cow
    M50S M50 south total journey + time to/from Red Cow
    M1 Dublin/Newry (both directions of travel)
    M3 Dublin/Cavan (both directions of travel)
    M4 Dublin/Sligo (both directions of travel)
    M5 Dublin/Westport (both directions of travel)
    M6 Dublin/Galway (both directions of travel)
    M7 Dublin/Limerick (both directions of travel)
    M8 Dublin/Cork (both directions of travel)
    M9 Dublin/Waterford (both directions of travel)
    M11 Dublin/Wexford (both directions of travel)

    For example, text M6 to 53526/53JAM, and you'll receive a text like this:

    "Travel times at 11:15 - M50-Galway: 2h26.2 min, Galway-M50: 2h 28.1min; O2 - Together is better"

    or if you text M50 to 53526/53JAM, you'll receive a text with the following information:

    "Travel times at 10:10 - M50 North: 26.7 min, M50 South: 28.0 min; O2 - Together is better - Try M50S and M50N to get more detailed M50 journey times "
    How much does it cost?

    Sending a text to 53526/53JAM is charged at the standard text rate (as per your price plan).
    Texts received cost 60c (inc VAT) per message.
